Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 J, Wouldn’t it be a miraculous event if we could be off these thyroid meds after the explant. I pray for that, but I am not getting my hopes up too high just yet. I can identify with being scared and tearful.. so am I at times…. But then I go about my business as if this isn’t really happening. I am looking forward to hearing from you post explant to see how you are doing. Dawn thyroid problems after implants Dawn, Yes; I developed hypothyroidism AFTER the implants had been in for maybe a year at the most. My tests were borderline normal also; I argued with my family doctor, and thankfully, she's allowed me to vent. She refused to up the dosage, as my blood tests seemed almost normal. I continued to have extreme fatigue, am cold all the time (I sleep with an electric blanket on high and a quilt on top of that year-round), and my skin and hair have changed. That's just SOME of the health issues that have occurred since the implants. Today is better than yesterday. Yesterday I was kind of scared and tearful. This morning I'm ready to explant today! I know that the emotional ups and downs may happen before the surgery. I'm going to perservere and be good to myself. I'm going to explant.
